Business Process Consulting

First and foremost, we need to understand your business. How does your company generate revenue and what internal processes are critical to accomplish this. Who are the decision makers, what are their roles, and what do they stand to gain from implementing Microsoft CRM. How are decisions being made and what factors are driving these decisions? Our job is to shadow, interview, and gather information, ask the right questions and help our customers document existing processes, improve upon existing processes, and create new processes.

At the core of our business consulting process is education. We educate ourselves on your business and we educate you on Microsoft CRM.

Understanding and documenting how data flows within your organization and how decisions are being made is essential. In order to help you build successful processes and implement those processes, we start by defining roles within the user base and building processes that assist everyone within that role. What processes does your sales department have in place or what process would you like them to follow? What process does your customer service department have in place or what process would you like them to follow? If you focus on building processes that can have an immediate and positive impact on a particular role, user adoption will be high.

Our Strategic Analysis is traditionally a one week engagement and will give us the opportunity to share and begin our business process consulting approach with you.
